I got a mechanical keyboard after researching a ton on which one I wanted. second-hand, so I was a bit restricted to what was offered. I'm getting a Keychron V5 Max, which I'm then going to mod with some new keycaps, a tape-mod and possibly filling it up with foam. The YouTube channel Hipyo Tech has been on the top of my YouTube binge list the last few weeks.
The only "problem" with buying a nice mechanical keyboard is that you never need to buy another one.
Ha! I'll live 😅 And there's plenty of modding things I can still buy for it... Keycaps, switches, foam to fill it with...
Damn, that's a nice treat. I'm no purist but, wow, typing on a good switch/keyboard combo is a real comfy joy. I love blue switches, or the buckling spring ones from the old IBM planks. I tried a friends 25-different-switches try-out board and found out that there might be switch types I like even more! Maybe I'll look around again if this Ducky One (3) keyboard ever dies, but I wasn't counting on that happening :)
Great keyboard, what switches are you using? Their browns are my fav switch
Just the ones that come with it, for now... I'm watching the online second hand market place of my country for offerings of switches, as I don't want to spend too much. And it's better for the environment, too! I've heard pretty much all keycaps by the HMX brand are good, so that's what I have a search alert for.
